Hi Liguo,
         I've been trying to add the spec to the cvs tree. My question is,
does it need to include the version number in its name? I wouldn't want to
remove it from cvs and add it again each time we release...

As you like it.

I would just drop the test-suite.

Maybe it might be another package? (or packages?)

As you like it.
